Furious Range Rover driver with young child in passenger seat shouts ‘c****!’ at Just Stop Oil activists while police urge slow marching eco-zealots to move on as group returns to streets of London after the Coronation

  • Just Stop Oil protesters are back out on the streets of London with their banners 

Just Stop Oil activists have returned to disrupt the streets of London after the King’s Coronation – holding up traffic with their slow march. 

Protesters were out in Marble Arch and around Piccadilly – infuriating one driver so much that he called them ‘c****’ while travelling with a young girl in the passenger seat. 

Others beeped their horns at the activists – but it did not seem to deter the group who appeared unfazed and carried on strolling while holding their huge banners. 

Police were seen at the scene, negotiating with demonstrators to get out of the road.  

It comes after Scotland Yard made 64 arrests on coronation day, with 46 people bailed after being detained on suspicion of causing a public nuisance or breaching the peace.

In video footage from Marble Arch posted online a protester called Sophie can be heard blasting out through a megaphone: ‘I am 30 years old, I have a niece who is six, I would one day like to have children but the government are not safeguarding our future.’

She accused the government of opening new oil and gas licences, describing it as a ‘war against the young’. 

Numerous people were arrested amidst the crowning of His Majesty on Saturday as Scotland Yard clamped down on those suspected of causing trouble. Four charges have been brought, including over a religiously aggravated public order allegation and class A drugs possession.

Breach of the peace, sexual assault and conspiracy to cause a public nuisance were among the various grounds for arrest over the course of the Royal event.

Several Just Stop Oil protestors were arrested in addition to Animal Rising groups who were also linked to the Grand National chaos last month.

Metropolitan Police officers said they arrested three people in Soho on suspicion of conspiracy to commit public nuisance at around 2am on the morning of King Charles’ Coronation.

The force revealed that numerous rape alarms were seized and the three people were taken to a south London police station for further questioning.

A 47-year-old man among the group was also further arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

A statement read: ‘There was particular concern from military colleagues that this would scare their horses involved in the procession and, as a result, cause significant risk to the safety of the public and the riders.’

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan also added: ‘The intelligence we received led us to be extremely worried about the potential risk to public safety. We are aware of and understand there is public concern over these arrests. However, the matter is still under investigation.’
